<p>Better handling of escapes than PegDown: PegDown does not escape
special HTML characters like &lt;, &gt;, &amp;, " and ' in normal
text paragraphs, just in code blocks.</p>
<p>Maybe if&gt;they are&amp;not "stand-alone"?</p>
<p>Well, I don't think so :) (at least not as of <strong>pegdown
0.9.2</strong>!)</p>

<p>Here is a simple \ that should be left alone</p>
